Never mind I got the update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Damn lol. I was all excited for some s4 app goodness but apparently it's just that lock screen security update. Awe well. :mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
We'll be getting some of that goodness soon I believe. We have some amazing devs for this device. As soon as they release S4 and the sorce or whatever im sure if there already not working on something they will be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Oh I'm sure they will. But I'm curious to see what Samsung gives us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
At least sprints not dragging there feet on updates even though its not real special its something

Rockin it from my Macknote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
I hope sprint lets it all come to us because can't they stop some features that Samsung puts In There updates. I read that somewhere a while ago. Anyone ever heard that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] elijahbrown:
Sure, but they can be easily reenabled in csc/feature.xml

Don't worry we'll get them. I had the epic touch which saw the ics update and then jelly bean. They would probably like to at least release the s4 1st before they drop new software and as far as key lime pie or any other os upgrades, well those would have to at least get released 1st. :)

I though I read that MC2 caused you major problems and you're lucky to still have the note2. Do you recommend staying away from this update?

I'm actually waiting for Sprint support via chat now as it happened again - this time while we have bad flooding and wife couldn't reach me for 3 hrs. She REALLY wants it either fixed or she's going to fix her way (Into the nearby pond and force me back to old school phone - which really doesn't fix it.)

While I have one clicks ready I am talking right now with others in the team as I personally don't want to put this out. When I put something out with our name on it we usually want it to be good or at least manageable. 3 of us with GN2s have had issues and the solution is not clear yet.

I'll leave it up to the community. I can post it but it will be with a strict warning that it has known issues and possible ways to fix.

Yeah I had an oh crap moment last night too. I got in trouble for flashing it and then having to stay up late to fix it. My wife wasn't happy with me.

For that matter my boss isn't either... I'm practically falling asleep at my desk! lol

Sprint is making a big mistake rolling this one out. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Called Sprint and they basically pushed new profile and PRL after saying they are doing new work in the area. Sill not buying it, no problems after I unplugged the Airave.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Have you tried having your airrave reset? Or resetting it yourself? I've seen people with them on other device's have connection issues after updates which were fixed after they called sprint and had the airrave reset. Those things seem to be temperamental.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] elwood:
Lol that's like when I lost data going to ma7 and the sprint rep kept telling me the tower was down in my area but yet 3 other sprint devices where all connected to 3g but mine wasn't. Called her out on her job and she hung up, called sprint back and the next rep apologized and said that is the most common excuse a rep will give. She tried to help and couldn't though. That was with the hfa not working

I haven't ever had one, but everyone I know who has seems to have some weird issue with it. And I see a lot of posts here about people having issues with them. Usually the issue seems to be network related, which is ironic since that's what they're supposed to help with.

I had a similar issue with my s3 when I updated and my 3g was gone. Called sprint and they told me there was a tower down and that they were working on it. Bs. I did a factory reset and it fixed the issue

I have a airwave and it always messes up my data it is more of a problem than not. Well at keast for me. You have to have some good wifi for it to work right and that I dont have because I have Brighthouse and they suck

Interesting news, if real, and includes US variants... (Thanks MrPnut) Also, interesting that if this is true, not a peep from leaks or RDFs?

Also, in general, starting to be impressed with Samsungs attempts to get, and keep, devices current.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Well, the regular sources have confirmed 4.2.2

is

in development for this and Sprint S3 at the moment. No build IDs yet, just knowledge that they're working on it. But based on recent updates, including the S4, I'm not confident we'll see anything until they are ready to release it. Let's hope I'm wrong.

Will we see it on the Note 2? My guess, probably not :(

We're twisting arms to even get 4.3....

S3 had a 4.3 RDF... so I'm guessing we have one as well. Probably just not published.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Cool. S3 have a leak by any chance?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CNexus:
No
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gmplr831@comcast.net:
4.3 Coming?

Anyone else notice this line in the RDF: OSNameGoogle Android/L4 OSVendorGoogle/QUALCOMM OSVersion4.3

Not sure if it is reading right but it looks like the RDF is showing either a qualcomm build for 4.3 or there is a sprint build out there for 4.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Do you have a link?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gmplr831@comcast.net:
RDF showing 4.3?

Sure it is http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-L900/latest. Its about halfway down the paragraph. Yes it is hard to read but its an RDF, who would think its readable!

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

Also, I noted the Software version is listed as UBMIA, which if you look at past RDFs, like MC2, it is listed as UMC2. So I am guessing thats either a placeholder, or perhaps it is in testing internally at sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Now would be a good time for me to remind everyone about the awesome tool my friend, [MENTION=454392]cas8180[/MENTION], built for us.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Thanks. What do you set the range at though? Build #?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cas8180:
Yup use the build number for your range. Start and potential end
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Wow. Nice to see some love again for this phone! And how ironic tgat the build is MIA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
I think this device has a ton of potential and don't see the need for an upgrade for quite some time. I love my Note 2. Also it looks like people on sammobile were saying the kernel was the same on the 4.3 leak that was on their 4.1.2 build which seems a little odd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Most new heads are based on a previous older version and the changes to the most recent version are often (but not always) also applied to older revisions. So 3.4.x and 3.1.xx could in actuality be nearly identical, you're just seeing a higher major revision count and lower minor revision count. All the more why it depends on what actually is in the kernel.

The S4 had a 3.4 kernel base so there's precedent for them to use that as a base for the S3. N2 could in theory use the Exynos 5 code base but they may have decided to just stick with the older base and patch up to 4.3 requirements as well. If I remember correctly there are minimum requirements to be considered a given Android version so as long as those are met does it really matter what the major/minor revision are?

Maybe it's time for me to go back and see how the 3.8 kernel project from Google is going.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CNexus:
This matches the 4.3 RDF that the Sprint S3 got a couple days ago now.

The Sprint HTC One was also updated to 4.3 yesterday. Looks like Sprint is really stepping it up and it will be coming soon for all us!

See attached screenshot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jimmy50941:
I just looked to see if there were any other RDF's not popping up on the /latest page, and found MJ4! MJ1-4 are all on there, but nothing since MJ4 so maybe this is final build? =)

MJ4 RDF
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jimmy50941:
MJ5 is now up, and MJ6 and MJ7 download a 28k file, so those RDFs are up too? but i have no idea what is in them??? anyone want to try to decypher them? lol

does i tried opening MJ6 and MJ7 with notepad and also IE, and cant figure out what i need to open them with

In notepad/wordpad the top line is NASCA DRM File, so its encrypted for some reason?

<## NASCA DRM FILE - VER1.00 ##>¿Š~8t™Ó¼È*òìV¼” Ô*M

I wonder what they may be hiding in there???? Maybe KitKat for our note2's? =) lol probably not, but why else would they encrypt the RDF's???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Encrypted RDFs. Probably tracking hits on RDFs and realized folks are watching. They'll usually let up closer to release. Last time meant there was something they didn't want to show... at least yet. Doubt it's 4.4 though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jimmy50941:
Lol I doubt that too, but I can hope, right? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Well.... I have it on good authority MJ7 is 4.3.

Don't have proof yet but based on another nugget for another device it also very likely has the Gear support.

And while also speculation I'm putting money that's our next OTA and it's coming probably in the next 3 weeks.

That timeframe is based on one simple fact - They need the Gear support before Black Friday.

They'll also want to do it with enough time to support things before the holidays approach.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Sweet thats awsome
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jimmy50941:
very good point. but i wonder what the gear will sell for on black friday lol $250?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
It's 350 now, right? Maybe $149. Should be low enough to sell out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jimmy50941:
Ya, $149 might peak my interest in it enough to at least give it a shot, and sell it on ebay after if i dont like it. It looked like the battery life was kinda low on the gear though

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Why would they encrypt latest rdf's for us but not the S3? Jerks lol.. Only thing I'm concerned with is knowing if I should take the update while rooted like I usually did in the past. That Knox crap scares me :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
They did this before as well - remember leading up to MC2 we saw several encrypted tarballs too.

I think they're doing this to keep prying eyes away from it, and probably due to previous leak history.

Either way, it's a shame. Maybe as we get closer we'll see something.

I am very curious how stock 4.3 will run on this device given the trim features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
I don't remember since I've never been all crazy about rdfs with the Note like I was with the Epic Touch. I do believe they did start encrypting at some point with the GS2 too right? And why is xda still being retarded not letting me quote some posts or if not quoting the wrong ones? :banghead:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
We have a new build guys! MK1 listed as latest and no encryption.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerunking1221:
I'm ready for usable smr 800!! Big money, bug money, big money....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jimmy50941:
lol wouldnt that be nice... So its looking like MK1 might be the final, since the 20th is supposedly the release date. seems like 3 weeks is the usual from build date to release date, but who knows, they probably have some major glitch they are still trying to work out for the Galaxy Gear lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
I don't know exactly what 4.3 is going to bring to our devices yet but unless my favorite kernel (Perseus) gets updated I'm staying far away from it lol. He is starting to look at the build based of off the sources for the international note 2 that were released recently and is building the kernel from the s4 kernel he's already built. I'm following his other threads to keep up on his work. Hopefully it all pans out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
I'm sure we'll see custom kernels - I will do one to change SELinux at a minimum. Rest we'll have to see I guess. Knox implementation on this device is still a big unknown.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
800 MHz voice perhaps - if they figured out what the problem was.

Data's a no-go. No support in the modem and no filings to FCC to even try and add it yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerunking1221:
There will be data on the smr band, 3g data at that...well 1x which is a 3g technology. But yes, the note two does not support lte on the 800 mhz band due to hardware limitations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Is Sprint ever going to get rid of these 2000 PRL's? I'm tired of manually programming a different one and they keep reverting me back to 2006! It's like instead of fixing the 800smr problem some people were having they took the lazy way out and just removed it for all of us. My phone works fine with the 55-56*** PRL's :mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Freeze the Sprint DM service and your PRL will stop updating by itself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LMMT:
Unless they change the way Knox is implemented on the Note 2, vs the Note 3, getting rid of it is no big deal. I rooted, and tripped my Knox counter the first day I got my Note 3. Once rooted, there are 7 Knox apps, that need to be deleted, from system/apps. A permissive kernel, and maybe a build.prop edit, should take care of all issues.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Probably last to get due to SoC. S3 was much easier to do over N2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
You think so? I mean the Note has Samsung's own chip so I would think it would be the total opposite. No waiting on Qualcomm and stuff so if anything should be easier. I think they're just focused more on the S3 since it's older plus it's huge success. That was their bread winner lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
The N3 got it first so easiest to port to other qc first. Rumors have been floating that Exynos has had issues in KK testing but no credible sources to really confirm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Oh ok cool. Well glad it's finally coming along! I'm tired of 4.3. I hate the battery icon, my home button freezing and lagging and I'm hoping they revamp our Touchwiz somewhat. I don't recall 4.3 bringing any Touchwiz changes and I like the newer weather widgets and stuff.
